To download pictures it's usually better to use a card reader. Is the camera turned on when you try transfering the pictures ?
I did solve the problem of downloading my pictures, I concluded that the cord was not inserted properly. As far as the grinding noise when I turn on my camera I have no idea what is causing that, I gave my camera a good cleaning hoping that would help but sound is still there when I first turn on the camera. Any idea what could be causing this?

I don't recall if the K-30 uses a standard USB connector or one with a non-standard connector found on many cameras. If it is a standard USB connector make sure the cable is a data cable and not a charging only cable.
Thank you for reply, did solve the downloading problem, cord was not inserted all the way. I am more concerned about the grinding sound when I first turn on my camera, do you have any thoughts about what could be causing this to happen?

Thank you.
